Sumisjc is an Indian artist I found on deviantart. Of this piece he says, “[Now here is another Poster which I made for My one of the Favourite superhero ‘Captain Atom’ his name is what got me. there is a very rare chance WB/DC even use him in Movies (although he is same as ‘Dr.Manhattan’ from Watchmen) So if they Ever made his movie then I want “Joe Johnston” to direct it he got the tone for this character. I don’t got anyone as casting for this movie.]” Clearly English isn’t his/her first language, but you get the idea. The poster is beautiful.

I found this Captain Atom sketch by Jason Sturgill on tumblr.com. According to his web site, Jason is a commercial artist and educator based in Portland, Oregon with a background in advertising, graphic design and curatorial. It is unclear which version of Cap this is, but it most closely resembles the Modern Age Captain Atom. It is a pretty cool example of Sturgill’s work.

I recently posted one of adamantis’ pieces here on this blog. It was a Captain Aom/Captain Marvel team-up of sorts. Upon exploring his deviantart page, I found a whole slew of great Captain Atom pieces. This guy really has a great eye and imagination. Honestly, I’d be pleased if he was tapped to be the artist on a new Captain Atom series (if that were ever a thing). If you haven’t already, you should really check out his art.

Convergence – Power Couples

Filling In – Power Girl and Captain Atom (as Wonder Woman and Superman)

Power Girl and Captain Atom – Another Time

Threes a Crowd – Power Girl, Captain Atom, and Maxima

Power Girl and some other people…

Captain Atom and Power Girl – Don’t I Know You?

Justice League International – Celebration

Clearly, Adamantis loves the Captain Atom/Power Girl couple. There’s so much more than this on his page. You’ve got to see it!

This one is just beautiful, and really was bound to happen (Cap and Captain Marvel use the same “font” in their logos). A digital artist from the UK, Adam describes his digital art thusly: “I tend to draw a fair bit of fanart depending on my mood. At the moment my gallery has been somewhat dominated by Powergirl. I also draw other DC/Marvel/2000AD comic related images, anime or computer game fanart, my own original fantasy and sci-fi characters, and the occasional Transformer and Warhammer 40’000 image.”

This image has a story attached:

“Nathaniel Adam cursed his luck at being hurled across dimensions again, only to bump into a large green man who decided to start hammering him into the ground, matters got worse when a hammer wielding buffoon joined in. The pair were incredibly strong, but not the brightest of fighters, and with barely any provocation on his part they handily started fighting each other. This gave Nathaniel his chance to leave, which might allow him to try and find his bearings.

“When a flying woman suddenly confronted him, and instead of attacking introduced herself, a sudden sense of hope struck him that there was at least one sane superhuman native to this world…

“Carol Danvers moved promptly when the news of the Hulk was engaged in a brawl with, according to reports, the Silver Surfer. The Surfers presence on Earth always meant something was up, and when it was then reported that Thor had entered the fray she couldn’t help but sigh.

“As she approached the area she noted that the energy she was sensing didn’t correspond to the ‘power cosmic’ of the Surfer. The energy was unique to her senses, and it was moving away from the inevitable brawl between Thor and the Hulk that was now occurring thankfully away from anywhere populated. Leaving Thor and Hulk to their own devices she moved to intercept the mystery individual, to see a silver skinned man bearing a chest symbol not dissimilar to her own. Could the man be a member of the Kree?

“She opted for diplomacy, there was something about him that made her think it was worth a shot, and so she introduced herself…

“(Two underrated powerhouses of their respective Earths. Carol Danvers/Ms Marvel/Captain Marvel of MARVEL comics and Nathaniel Adam/Captain Atom of DC Comics. I admit this started as a Power Girl/Captain atom picture, but then i had the idea of having Ms Marvel instead.)”

You can find Adamantis on deviantart.com, where he’s posted a lot more Captain Atom images among other beautiful pieces.

Another tumblr.com find, this nice piece was done by Tom Kelly. According to his deviantart.com profile, he’s a digital artist from Chicago, IL. I really like this piece and some of his other stuff on his web site. Check out his Deadpool illustration on his deviantart page. It is also very cool.

Jakob Cybura is an artist I came across on tumblr. His deviantart bio reads, “Hi there! My name is Jakub and I have been drawing and designing ever since I was a little kid. My main goal is to create a webcomic that encompasses a unique universe that I have been crafting little by little for over a decade – had big dreams even since high school. And if there’s anything I love just as much as drawing, it’s telling an amazing tale. I don’t care how long it will take me or what stands in my way, I WILL make my dreams come true.”

Loston Wallace, a graduate of the Kubert School, is a freelance comic book artist from North Carolina. He has published work for both DC and Marvel Comics, as well as illustrations for FASA games. Of the Charlton super heroes, he say this:

“I grew up reading CHARLTON COMICS in the 1970s. I loved Charlton’s ghost story comics like HAUNTED, GHOST MANOR, GHOSTLY TALES, SCARY TALES, and war comics like FIGHTIN’ ARMY and FIGHTIN’ MARINES and so forth, but I discovered that a decade earlier, Charlton had published superhero titles too. CAPTAIN ATOM, THE BLUE BEETLE, THE QUESTION, and NIGHTSHADE all made appearances in Charlton mags. Back in the early 2000s I decided to draw my four favorite Charlton superheroes in THE BATMAN ANIMATED SERIES style…”

According to his tumblr page, George Kambadais is a freelance comic artist, illustrator, and co-creator of The Double Life Of Miranda Turner. He has worked with DC comics (The Vampire Diaries), Image, IDW, Arcana Comics, and others. He also writes fanfiction. His tumblr is worth a look.
